The teachings of Pope John Paul II on the ‘feminine genius’ and the authentic dignity each woman has been given by God is explained in this study guide. Pope John Paul II spoke to all of us about the truth of our dignity (the quality of being worthy of esteem, value or respect). Our culture tries to tell us that we are only valuable and only have dignity because of what we do and what we have, rather than because of our identity as females. For example, having the right body type, hair style, clothes, athletic talents, or academic abilities is what our world drives us to believe is the source of our dignity as girls. But in truth, we have dignity and are valuable simply because we exist as human beings created in God’s image and likeness. Our intrinsic dignity is given to us freely as a gift from God, and nothing we ever do can add or subtract from this gift. Isn’t it amazing to know that we have dignity and value just because of who we are? This is an incredible gift, and we should always choose to live in a way that upholds our dignity.
